It’s now November and soon we’ll be hunting for Holiday gift ideas both the ones you can make yourself and the ones you can buy – And don’t worry I’ll be sharing heaps of DIY so you can create yourself some neat and easy handmade gifts. Furthermore I’ve got 2 pretty cool DIY/ interior books lying on my desk and oh boy I know you will love these.

Do you remember my postabout the Apartment Theraphy’s Homemade Holiday Gift Idea Exchange? This is one of the projects that I submitted – Both a fun & stylish storage solution, a ladder made of wood round sticks and copper fittings. Many of you might have doors with some type of corner or open space nearby where you can place a storage, a ladder is perfect for this – Or wrap the pieces up and give it as a DIY gift!

As you can see I choose to hang my beloved copper pots and some of my leather projectson the ladder, but it’s actually made as a gift, so I’m going to pull the pieces apart and give it some lovely wrapping. You can read my tutorial on how to work with copper fittings and wood right here.

Your ladder is lovely. I love the lightness of the wood coupled with the rose gold hued copper. I want to make this for my home. Any chance you could give me the dimensions for the wooden dowels? How long should each piece be? Any tips would be helpful. Thanks for your beautiful work.
